Which stop should I use?

Arrive at Nottingham station, then walk or take the tram to Royal Centre. The venue says the walk is about 20 minutes and the tram stop is about 2 minutes from 8 Talbot Street. There is a taxi rank outside the station.

Park and ride trams stop at Toton Lane, Clifton South and The Forest. The venue points to the Tram Net journey planner for times. For buses it points to Trent Barton and Nottingham City Transport.

Plan the journey home before the show

Rock City’s getting-here page does not publish a last tram or last train. Check NET and East Midlands Railway against the time you expect to leave.

A concert ticket does not reserve a seat on the last service. If the return does not work, compare a taxi with an overnight stay before you book.

Check the whole accessible route

Rock City’s getting-here page describes the tram, the walk from the station and nearby parking. It does not publish a step-free route, lift or accessible entrance.

Contact the venue before you travel if you need step-free access, a companion seat or a drop-off, and do not assume the 2-minute walk from Royal Centre is level.

Driving, parking and pick-up

The venue points drivers to the multi-storey behind the building. For route planning it gives Q Park Nottingham, Stanley Place, Talbot Street, NG1 5GG.

Check that car park’s closing time before the show. Agree a pick-up point on Talbot Street rather than stopping in the queue at the door.

Bags and entry checks

Rock City’s getting-here page does not publish a bag size or a cloakroom. Check the event page before you travel with luggage.

Leave overnight bags somewhere else if the event does not say they can come in. Ask the venue if you need to bring a medical item.

Where should I base an overnight stay?

Compare a stay near Talbot Street and the Royal Centre tram with one beside Nottingham station if you have an early train. Check the evening tram before you choose.

On your CatchWorm event page, Venue & stays lets you explore nearby accommodation. Check late check-in and luggage terms with the provider.
